-: I'd argue that, once printed text is anything beyond simple ASCII text, a 
-: text-mode application such as Grep should use specialized functions to 
-: print the text with whatever markup it wants.

(I may be way off base here; if I am don't waste your time replying.)

(I don't think you are, but) are you saying that individual programs
(e.g., `grep') should know how to handle screen-specific stuff like colors?
Isn't this sort of thing properly handled by termio/termcap/whatever?
